Plone theme based on default using Diazo - plone

In Plone 4, I would like to create a new theme using Diazo that is based on the default Plone theme. But when I go to control panel and create a new Diazo theme, it basically clears everything and gives me a blank slate.
How do I start with the basic/default theme for Plone 4 and modify that?

Install plonetheme.diazo_sunburst first, then modify it instead of the new Diazo theme.

Can I ,somehow, prevent losing custom templates I made in Bartik Drupal 8 theme?

I had 2 custom templates I used in core/bartik theme which got deleted after I updated drupal core.
Is it possible to "protect" those templates from being deleted?
Make your own theme. Inherit some existing theme if you don't want to start from scratch. Then copy existing templates to your theme and change them the way you like. Never change Drupal core files, including themes.
By changing core files you made updates almost impossible.
If you don't want to create your own theme or sub theme from scratch you can make Bartik to be your own custom theme by just placing coping of to live inside /theme directory.
So now you will have 2 "Bartik" themes
Drupal core's one in
/core/themes/bartik
and yours in
/theme/bartik
In this case drupal will use the copy inside /themes/barik
But, if doing so, it is highly recommended to go another step and rename your copy of the Bartik to be something like "My Bartik" by
Edit the theme name inside bartik.info.yml
Perform search/replace in all theme files of "bartik" into "my_bartik" (machine name).
Replace "bartik" also in file names.
Rename the theme directory to be your new custom name (machine name).

Errors in changing old default theme to new theme

Hi i have installed drupal commerce kickstart. Initially it contains Demo store with default theme. Next i installed new free theme for my store. It still contains old theme's contents images and slides.
The new theme's contents and other effects are not coming.
What did i Missed?
You first need to clear the demo contents from the existing commerce kickstart installation. You could use Commerce Reset module, if not already exist, to clean it.
Regarding your new theme, have you installed the supported content types and content to show within the new theme? If you are using a free theme, i must say, you should read the theme instruction to setup this. Most free themes doesn't provide the dummy content with it and you need to create supported content types, views, blocks and then do the necessary configurations to make it works.
If you need further help please provide the theme link you are using to build your site.

How to add new Wordpress page template without switching themes?

Whenever I add a new page template to my theme, the only way I know how to get it to show up in the list is to switch to a different theme and then switch back. I am wondering if there is a way to reset the theme page options without doing this hack?
I usually find that switching to a different page or post reveals any new templates.
Make sure your templates are in your theme directory.

Wordpress 3.0 MultiBlog Theming

I was wondering if Wordpress 3.0 will allow me separate instances of the same theme to customize to my liking? Then I could use these two themes in two separate blogs in that same multiuser Wordpress 3.0 instance? Is this possible?
Like could I completely customize the TwentyTen theme and then install another TwentyTen theme under a different name/folder and lcustomize that as well.
I am trying to learn the ins-and-outs of Wordpress 3.0 for use in a bunch of different projects including internal employee blogs.
Any insight would be great on how I would accomplish something like this.
You could just create a new copy of the TwentyTen theme folder with a different name inside the /wp-content/themes directory:
/wp-content
/themes
/TwentyTen
/TwentyTenWithFancyMods
Then open up the styles.css file inside the new theme's folder and edit the comment at the top (and even create a new screenshot.png if you want). That way, when you're in the WordPress theme control panel, you'll be able to tell the two themes apart.
